While he was kissing me and I was licking and sucking the taste of myself off of his lips and tongue, I reached back down for that cock. I held it with one hand and cupped his balls with the other. His eyes were practically rolling back in his head and he said, “Baby…God, you have to stop…fuck…you feel me so fucking good.”
I stroked again and gave his balls a light squeeze. I felt his body tensing, and that’s when I let go and straddled his pelvis. He reached over to the nightstand next to the bed and the next thing I knew, he was ripping a condom open with his teeth. I sat up near his chest while he rolled that rubber on his big cock. I was on the verge of cumming again, just thinking about him being inside of me. I lifted up my hips and he took his cock into his own hand and guided it to my entrance. I felt the head enter, and I groaned as I slid down slowly. Each throbbing inch was like delicious torture, until he was so deep inside of me that the tip of it was hitting bottom. I slid back up the shaft, slowly withdrawing, and just before I got the head, I slammed my body back down onto his. He let me go slowly for a while – I think he was trying to make it last.
He put his hands on my back and pulled me into him so that he could suck on my breasts while he fucked me. Then, we both began to move our hips together and we found the most amazing rhythm. It was slow, but sweet, and we moved like that for a while, steadily, in and out until his momentum began to build. I heard Kyle growl and once again, he grabbed my hips and began to buck wildly underneath me. He was literally pistoning his cock in and out of me. Long, fast strokes, faster and faster.
I was panting out my breaths, and he was panting out his, and a sheen of sweat was beginning to cover us both. I felt his intensity increase and I opened my eyes so I could see his face when he came. A primal sound escaped from between his lips. His body tensed and he grasped onto tightly as his cock swelled and his balls tightened. It seemed that everything inside of him was lost in that one moment in time. I could feel his cock spasm inside of me, and the look on his face was pure ecstasy. I’d never felt so good in my life and I never wanted this night to end.
I lay forward onto his belly and chest, and he held me like that against him. I haven’t been held like that in long time – maybe ever. Every so often, he would run his hands down my back, over the curves of my ass, and down to the tops of my thighs. My breasts were crushed into him, and I could feel a heartbeat between us, but I wasn’t sure if it was his or mine. I burrowed my face into his neck and closed my eyes and breathed him in. I loved the way he smelled – it’s simple and barely there, but once you find it, he’s intoxicating. He was incredible. “Am I squishing you?”
I felt his body shake as he laughed at me. He reached up and took my face in both of his hands again and then he held it back and kissed me. He kissed my lips and my cheeks and my nose and forehead and then he looked at me with his sexy eyes and he said, “No, you can stay there all night if you want to.”
“I’d love to, but can I pee and text my sister first?”
I felt him laugh harder this time. “You have that kind of sister, too?”
I was embarrassed, but I knew Marlene would worry and I hated that. “Kind of. I’m sorry, but I don’t want her to worry.”
He kissed me again. “Don’t be sorry. The bathroom is to the right and on your way back from getting your phone, would you mind grabbing some water out of the fridge?”
“Not at all. I’ll be right back.”
“Hurry!”
I giggled like a schoolgirl as I got out of his bed naked and went into the bathroom. I tried to do my business without looking at my face in the mirror. I knew I had to be a mess. Sometimes Dylan used to tell me I looked like the Swamp Thing after sex. I know he just said things like that to be mean, but sometimes I couldn’t get them out of my head.
I ran into the living room and grabbed my phone out of my purse, and then I grabbed Kyle’s water. I took it back to the bedroom and handed him the water bottle as I began to text Marlene. I sent her a quick one that just said, “Safe. Fun. Love you. Home in a.m.” I started to sit it down on his nightstand when I saw I had three missed calls and two text messages. I checked the text messages first. One was from Dylan. It said, “Where the fuck are you?” The next one was from Marlene and it said, “Dylan is looking for you. Don’t come home tonight.” Shit! I could see Kyle watching me, but I had to listen to the messages. I didn’t want Dylan harassing Marlene. Nona was there and she’d be scared to death…
The voicemails were all from Dylan. He started out calm and telling me he just wanted to talk. In the second one, he called me a bitch and told me to call him back. In the last one, he was rambling and telling me he would burn my sister’s house down if I didn’t come home now.
“Kyle, I have to go.” It was dark in the room, but there was enough light through the windows that I could see the confused look on his face. “I’m sorry. I’ had an amazing time. My sister needs me.”
“Is she okay?”
“Yeah, she will be,” I said as I fished around on the floor for my clothes. I was trying not to work myself up into a panic. Dylan wouldn’t burn down my sister’s house with her daughter in there…would he? He’s never done anything that violent, but he has been escalating lately.
“Amber?” I couldn’t find my panties.
“Yeah?”
“Are you sure you’re okay? You seem really stressed all of a sudden.”
“I told you, my sister’s sick.” I fished around underneath the bed…bingo!
“Do you want me to go with you in case you need to take her to the hospital? I can stay with her daughter-”
“No, Kyle!” I snapped at him. Great. Now he looks hurt, instead of confused. I leaned in and put my hand on the side of his face. “I’m sorry. Everything will be okay. I just have to take care of this, okay?” I laid my phone down on the bedside table as I pulled on my panties and shoes. Then I went into the bathroom and splashed some water on my face and tried to straighten out my hair. I heard the “Ding” of my text message sound and I suddenly had a memory of where I left it. I rushed back into the room. Kyle wasn’t touching the phone, but he was looking at it. I’d left it there…right next to the bed.
“Who’s Dylan?”
I reached for the phone. I flinched as I did because I half expected him to grab my sore wrist. When he didn’t, I was reminded once again that he wasn’t Dylan. “He’s my ex-boyfriend,” I said.
“Oh. How long ago did you break up?”
“Kyle can we do this another time? I really have to go.” God, what a way to end such a beautiful night.
“It’s kind of a simple question, Amber.”
“Last Monday night.”
“Wow… So, are you leaving to go meet him?”
“Jesus, no! I’m going to check on my sister.” The chime went off on my phone again. I had it in my hand, but I didn’t look down and I suddenly didn’t have to. It went off again and again and again until I wanted to scream – and I knew only one idiot who would get drunk enough to do that.
“He’s persistent,” Kyle said. “What is it he wants this late at night?”
“I’m sorry, Kyle. It’s a long story. I promise I will tell it to you…”
“Next time.”
“Yes.”
“But not this time because you have to rush out and see your ex-boyfriend.”
“Kyle…” the phone went off again. “It’s not that, I swear to you.”
“Then prove it to me, Amber. Let me see the texts.”
The panic I felt inside of me told me that getting Kyle involved at this stage of his recovery would do nothing but set him back. I couldn’t take the risk that Dylan would hurt him. “No, I’m sorry Kyle. I have to go.”
I rushed out with my shoes in my hand. I didn’t look over my shoulder because I was afraid if I saw his face one more time, I’d want to fall into his arms, be a damsel in distress, and ask him to rescue me…but this was my problem, my mess, and I was the one that needed to clean it up.
Kyle’s not strong enough to deal with Dylan right now and even if he were, I don’t want him fighting for me.
Chapter Eleven
KYLE
I sat and brooded for an hour after Amber left. I wondered what she was doing. I felt sorry for myself. I felt angry, and I tried telling myself that my feelings were unjust since this was our first date and it wasn’t up to me who she sees and when. I told myself this jealousy was residual from what Greg and Lisa had done to me and it wasn’t fair to put that on Amber.
None of that helped.
I’d had the greatest night since…I can’t remember when. That was not the way I expected it to end. I was thinking more like cuddles in the early morning and breakfast.
I tried going back to sleep, but it wasn’t working, so I finally got up and went into the kitchen to make some coffee. As I rolled into the kitchen, my eyes went up to the cabinet where I keep the coffee. I was suddenly pissed off all over again. She didn’t bother to think about leaving me here where things weren’t up to accommodate half a man. I knew it wasn’t not her fault, but I needed someone to blame. I pushed myself up to the counter and used my arms to lift myself up. I stood on the toes of my good leg and reached up with one arm to get the coffee out of the cabinet. I pulled it open and the motion of the cabinet set me off balance. I fell into the chair – which I had forgotten to lock. It rolled back and I fell and struck the back of my head as I went down. The pain shot through me like a rocket and I think I may have blacked out for a few seconds. When I regained my bearings I was lying on the cold floor in nothing but my boxers and my head was throbbing. I reached back and touched the spot that hit the floor. It was wet and my hand came back covered in sticky, crimson blood. Shit!
I sat up and waited until the room stopped spinning before I pulled my chair close and put the brakes on. It took me a couple of tries but ultimately I got up on one knee so that I could grab the counter and pull myself up. Once I was on my feet, I reached back and struggled to get the locked wheelchair pulled up behind me. In the meantime, I could feel the warm blood flowing down my back. It seemed like there was a lot of it. I rolled back to the bedroom and got my phone. It was four forty-five. Dad would be up getting ready for work, but I hated the idea of asking him to take more time off. Sarah would get up and come get me, but she would have a thousand questions. I could call an ambulance, but I thought that would be over-reacting a bit… Finally with a resigned sigh, I called the man I had sworn to never ask for anything ever again: Greg.
“Dude, it’s like the middle of the night. Are you okay?”
“Not really. I need a ride to the hospital.”
“I’m on my way,” he said without asking any questions. It made me feel a little bit like an ass for the way I felt about him lately. “Are you at your dad’s?”
“No I’m at my loft.”
“In the Penny’s building?”
“How is it you know so much about my life when we’ve barely spoken in years?” I was asking the guy for a favor so now probably wasn’t the best time to question him, but what the hell?
“Sarah and I talk,” he said. “I’m on my way.” He hung up and I shook my head at both him and my nosy sister. My head hurt, like a mother fucker.
*******
“Okay,” the ER doctor said as he snapped off his gloves. “All stitched up.”
“How bad is the bald spot?”
Before the doctor had a chance to say anything, Greg said, “Which one?” I just had the staples taken out from the surgery two weeks ago and my hair was only starting to grow back in that spot. Now, I had another one.
“Shut up.”
“Sorry… I meant to say, you remember Old Man Smith from down the street?”
I flipped him off. Old Man Smith lived in our neighborhood when we were kids. He had literally three hairs on his head that he combed every day. Greg laughed.
“You might want to think about not staying alone until you get stronger,” the doctor told me. “You’re only six weeks out from brain surgery. That’s serious stuff.”
“Yeah, I’ve been staying with my dad. I just spent last night at my own place.”
“Okay, good. What have they got you on for pain?”
“I was taking OxyContin for a couple of weeks, but I haven’t taken them for over a month now.”
“Wow, tough guy, huh? Okay, I’ll prescribe you some Vicodin to take as needed.” I probably wouldn’t take them. I hated that doped up feeling pain meds gave me, but I didn’t argue with him. I was tired now and I just wanted to go home.
“You know if we don’t call your sister she’s going to be pissed when she sees those stitches?” Greg said when the doctor had left the room.
He was right, but it was kind of pissing me off that he was suddenly so close to my sister. “I’ve already got one sister, Greg. You’ll have to apply to be someone else’s.”
“Ha ha, you’re hilarious. Should I call her…or will you?”
“Fuck, hand me my phone.” He handed it to me and the first thing I looked for was a missed text or call from Amber. There was nothing. I pressed Sarah’s number and took a deep breath while I waited for her to answer.
“Kyle?” she said in a sleepy voice. “What’s wrong?”
“Sorry to wake you up-”
“I’m up,” she interrupted sounding instantly more alert. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, I’m fine. I had a little fall-”
“You fell? Where? Was Dad there?”
“Take a breath please, Sis. I was at the loft; I stayed there last night-”
“What? You’re kidding, right? You’re not strong enough to be on your own yet.”
“Sarah, if you’re not going to let me talk, I may as well hang up now.”
“Fine…talk.”
“I had a date last night. I stayed at the loft. I slipped and fell and banged my head on the floor. Greg came and took me to the hospital.”
“Greg? You called Greg instead of me?” Jesus Christ, this woman!
“I thought one was the next best thing to the other since the two of you seem to talk all the time about everything…”
“Don’t be a smart mouth, Kyle. Who did you have a date with?”
“Never mind. I’m gonna go now. The doctor just came back in.”
“Wait…Kyle…”
“Bye, Sis!” I rolled my eyes, and Greg grinned. I think it’s time for another ass beating…as soon as I can stand on my own two feet.
After the doctor really did come back and the nurse had me sign all of the discharge papers Greg said, “Breakfast?” I started to say no out of habit, but then I figured what the hell. I never got to have my coffee.
“The Waffle House?”
“IHOP.”
“I’m the guy with the gash in his head.”
“I’m driving.”
“Fine, IHOP.” He grinned again. He definitely needed an ass whooping.
When we got to the restaurant, we were shown to a table and we ordered right away. The server was around our age and really cute. Greg didn’t waste any time turning on his charms. After she left he said, “So, who was the date with?”
“Why do you ask? So you can run and tell my sister?”
He laughed. Every fucking thing was funny to this guy. “Nah, she’s the one with all of the good information.”
“So tell me, how did that happen?”
“How did what happen?”
“You and Sarah becoming bestest buddies?”
Laughing again, he said, “I ran into her in the grocery store one day. We got to talking and one thing led to the other…”
“Ew, you can stop there if this goes any further than gossiping like two old ladies.”
“Not that I don’t find your sister kind of hot for an older lady…”
“Knock it off!”
He was having way too much fun. “I’m sorry. It’s not like that and you know it. I miss you, man. It helps to have Sarah to talk to. I didn’t know what to
do with myself when you cut me off.”
“You slept with my girl.”
“I know, and if it were the other way around, I would have reacted the same way. But do I get a life sentence for it? I’ve done my penance, man. For six years now I’ve lived without my best friend. Can we get past this at some point?”
The waitress saved me. She brought our food and while we ate, I changed the subject to work. I found out he was running his dad’s business and that his parents had both retired and moved to Florida. Just as we were finishing our meal he said, “So…two questions you never answered, who was your date with?”
“Amber.”
He grinned. “Nice, man.” My face must have given me away because then he said, “Not nice?”
“It was great. Probably the best date I ever had.”
“Hmm, I guess that’s why you look ecstatic…”
“It didn’t end well. She had to run off in the middle of the night because her ex-boyfriend was calling.”
He raised an eyebrow. “Ex? What did he want?”
I shrugged. “I have no idea. Maybe I’m cursed.”
“Or maybe you have a lot of issues because of what your mom did to you.”
It was my turn to laugh. “Carpenter by day, psychologist at breakfast.”
“Listen, I know what Lisa and I did to you was fucked up. I was drunk and high and stupid. I would have stuck it pretty much anywhere at that point and if I were you, I might have cut it off. But it’s been six years and you still act like it was yesterday. You already had issues with trust. Lisa and I just made it worse…and now, Amber.”
“So, what are you saying? I should trust blindly?”
“No. I’m saying I understand your issues with trust, but in Amber’s case, I can see you really like her. Maybe you should give her a chance to explain before you just write her off.”
